GUEST SPOT POST SECONDARY
Exactly seven months ago, in June, 2017, I submitted my first editorial to Ossekeag Publishing. The piece was about graduation, and if I’m honest, it was more or less a seven hundred and fifty seven word rant about how graduates need to relax about university, about figuring out what it is they want to be when they grow up, and about the need for parents to separate their own preferences from the process of choosing what career path their child should take. From what I gather, my submission was received very well, and apparently made a lot of sense; a rarity for a lot of my arguments. It’s for this reason that I find it very hard to type what is about to follow, especially considering that, like many of us out there, I hate being wrong. This year has been a revelation for me as I am currently the one facing down the uncertainties of graduation. You see, when I originally wrote that column about graduation, I was a plucky eleventh grader who thought I knew what I was talking about based on conversations with my friends in the 12 grade. This year, I am graduating and in the very same position as the people that I once wrote about; and let me tell you: it is genuinely incredible how a simple change in situation can introduce an entirely new perspective. Of course, not everything has changed since last year, I still firmly believe that parents need to remain supportive while keeping their own dreams out of their child’s plans, thus allowing their child to carve their own path. In addition, I still believe it is a hard truth that we, the students of today, are far too ahead of ourselves when it comes to our futures. In reality, we don’t need to decide whether being a doctor, lawyer or whatever other profession that our hyperactive minds can come up with, is the correct choice for us. That has never changed, and I’ve committed myself to be as stubborn as a mule in a rainstorm on these points. This new perspective of mine did not come to me until I started looking into post-secondary institutions at the beginning of September. Now, when I say that I was looking into post-secondary institutions,
what I really mean is: I was looking into universities. From August to the middle of October, I religiously studied every view book for every English and Bilingual University in eastern Canada; I promise this is not an exaggeration. I can tell you every fact about each; from travel times to dining options, and whether a single room or double room was the best bang for your buck at each institution. What I didn’t realize was that there are so many other options than university. It’s an often forgotten fact that every person learns a different way. On top of this, there’s a sizeable group of students that do not wish to follow the traditional career paths of today. University is not the be all end all for everyone. Community College Trades, on the job training, or a gap-year are all fantastic options that deserve to be explored. It’s up to students to explore all of these while holding none above the other. Find the one that fits your needs and what you want to do. Explore postsecondary institutions and not just universities, learn all of your options, and don’t be discouraged to take the road less traveled. Who knows, you may be like me, and find that university is right for you, or perhaps you’ll break the mold, and be much more adventurous with your post-secondary route. One is not better than the other, all will get you to your destination; however, they can’t if we, students and parents alike, don’t break the societal norm: university and nothing else. 0002 Edited for space, see full article at ossekeag.ca

SELF ESTEEM WEIGHING IN How fortunate is the person with healthy self-esteem. Healthy self-esteem is one of the key components to happiness. Much like cultivating a garden, building self-esteem involves consistent effort. If we consider how self-esteem affects our mental and physical well-being, in both the short and the long term, it only makes sense to cultivate it. Many of us assume we get value from what we do, from skills, character traits, talents, or from the acceptance of others. However, self-esteem is defined as a realistic, appreciative opinion of oneself. By this definition, people would be accurate and honest in how they see themselves and have positive feelings about themselves and dare I say, like themselves. It's easy to feel good about yourself when life is going well. A promotion at work, or a new relationship can do wonders for your self-image. But what happens when things don't go so well? The problem with basing our self-esteem on life
circumstances is that those circumstances can change. Lasting self-esteem has less to do with what's going on in your life and more to do with how you interpret it. Your thoughts are your perceptions; your understanding of a situation. You explain your experience of what is happening and how you see it. But those of us with low self-esteem do not see ourselves clearly. Like a classroom projector (am I aging myself?), we must adjust our image to see it clearly. We tend to see others far more accurately than ourselves. Compared to all these normal people we feel terribly flawed. We think, feel and act negatively toward ourselves. Instead of negating our strengths and magnifying our weaknesses, we must learn to recognize and value the person we really are. We must weigh our strengths and weaknesses honestly and accurately. By doing so, we acknowledge weaknesses that we might like to change. And we also acknowledge that we do indeed have
strengths. We are not simply black or white, good or evil, right or wrong. We are a combination of all these things. Each of us have value and yet we are priceless. Strengths are qualities in yourself that you appreciate. Remembering your strengths, especially during the times you are most down on yourself, goes a long way in building healthy self-esteem. As we begin to see ourselves more clearly, our world brightens, life seems more crisp and our mental and physical well-being improves. Happiness is an inside job and by building your selfesteem, happiness will show itself to the outside. 0027

Hear All About It in Their Own Words! Women In Business
Sussex
In just a few short months I will be celebrating ten years of being a business owner in Sussex. What a journey it has been, with its shares of trials and tribulations! I don’t believe that being a woman in business has held me back in any way or even altered the path that I have gone down. I do however believe you have to make a lot of sacrifices being both a business owner and mother. Finding that balance can be difficult at times but being blessed with a supportive husband and family has made it much easier. I remember back to the days our three children were extremely busy with sports and drama productions. My husband Rob had to take the reigns and become the driver, coach etc to all three. Working long hours in the early years did not allow much time for all the curricular activities.

Serving the community for over 50 years
New & Used Equipment Sales | Parts & Service 54 Aiton Road, Sussex • 433-3672
It was 23 years ago when I decided to open The Sussex Audiological Center. It was a large undertaking and I had great help and support along the way from my husband. When I look back to the early days to where I am now, I never would have dreamed I would come so far. Yes, I am a woman in business and I am proud of the independent business I have grown. In an industry with box stores and chain retail locations I have been able to grow my practice based on the service we provide and the knowledge I can fit clients with any of 12 manufactures of hearing aids. Client’s are fit on their need and what they require, not that I am tied to one manufacturer or brand. The hearing aid industry has changed over my years of practice and it is always changing and surprising me. The continuing education necessary to keep up with all manufactures and new technology is on going. I have been an audiologist for coming on 28 years and I truly enjoy the profession, and the change I can make in people’s lives.
B i l l A r bi n g , and his business partner, B o b Hutton first opened the doors to Arbing Equipment in 1965, quickly becoming the community’s go-to dealership for farming equipment. The family owned and operated business has been a part of the community since that time, and the business has flourished, moving to a new location on Aiton Road in the 1980’s. Under the leadership of Bill Arbing’s daughter, Pam Arbing-Northrup, Arbing Equipment now employs 10 staff members, including in-house and on the road mechanics, a dedicated service team, and two salesmen. A devastating fire two
year ago on February 21 2016, threatened to derail Arbing’s history, however; thanks to Arbing-Northrup’s determination and the assistance of the community, including staff members, clients, customers and neighbors, the company has persevered. Pam ArbingNorthrup and staff moved into the new building on January 23, 2017 and it has been a couple years of highs and lows as the community of Sussex rallied together to support their local dealership in its time of need. During the aftermath of the fire, ArbingNorthrup was overwhelmed with the amount of support received. Every member of her staff, whether employed for 25 years or six months, arrived that fateful morning and stayed to help in any way possible.

After years of enjoying this fast-paced aspect of Respiratory Care, Angie discovered her true calling, Snoring and Sleep Apnea Therapy. As a life-long snorer herself, Angie realized her personal experience and professional training had led her to the perfect career. She could help individuals and families with a life altering health problem, Sleep Apnea. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a very common sleep disorder. It is marked by snoring, pauses in breathing, gasping for air and daytime sleepiness. Those with untreated OSA are at greater risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attack, stroke and early death due cardiovascular problems. Treating OSA changes lives. People enjoy fewer cardiovascular risks, better quality sleep, a better home and work life, and begin to enjoy their hobbies again.

EXERCISE FOR HEALTH NO MORE EXCUSES There are numerous excuses used on a daily basis for not exercising. Here are some: I need motivation: well the benefits to working out are endless and it would take a lot more than this little column to list them but some would include: improved health, quality of life, strengthened immunity, more strength, better range of motion, less pain, improved stamina, clearer thinking, stress relief, really the list is endless. Set a goal, but keep it small and obtainable. When you reach your set goal set another one, slow steady progress is the most successful and easily maintained. I have no time, ok you can have this one if: you don’t use a cell phone, never watch television, read books, go for coffee, or do nothing for your own wellbeing. A half hour of daily activity is all that is required for optimum health, but that doesn’t mean you do the same activity every day, change it up. I don’t like to work out alone: so join a
gym, go to a class, chances are once you join you will meet someone you have things in common with and the social part of being active can also be very therapeutic, making you feel better about yourself. Most people who exercise are very accepting and supportive of other people trying to be healthier or more active, remember a fit person exercising at the gym got that way by consistently working out. I am too old: nonsense! There are many different ways to improve your strength and range of motion. Your local gym should be able to show you low impact or simple ways to get started. Exercising from a chair is a very popular and safe way to workout for the elderly. Inquire, you may be surprised by what you are capable of. Too boring: You need variety, this is not a bad thing, it will also stimulate your brain. Make yourself a plan, try different activities each day. Again, you only need 30 minutes a day for optimum health. Cardio, weight training, stretching,
Gym, dance, swim, walk or yoga, try it all to find out what works for you. People will stare at me: Most people who are at the gym are there for the same reason, many of them have been exercising for years and in the beginning started out in the same place you find yourself. Going to the gym is not all about appearance but about improving and maintaining your health. Give it a try. 0046

WELL RESTED CAN’T GET ANYTHING DONE AT WORK? HAVE A NAP! I read in the news this week that an IT company in Toronto bought a Nap Pod to have at the office so employees could take a nap at work. What a great idea. You may not want to spend $14000 on a fancy Nap Pod, but I have a few tips for you to help you get a little quiet time at work, to perk you up and make you much more productive for the rest of the day. Now how can your boss argue with that? Most of us do not get enough sleep at night. Even if we are in bed for 7-8 hours, our sleep can be disrupted and cut our actual sleep time to a fraction of that. We might function at full capacity in the morning, but after lunch, our productivity and concentration leaves much to be desired. Even if you do not actually fall asleep, a little quiet time during the day can do wonders for your afternoon work and mood. Here’s how. The best time to have a rest is right after lunch and not after 2:00 pm. You do not want your nap interfering with the quality of your nighttime sleep.
Get yourself to a dark quiet space. Set your alarm for 20-30 minutes. This will allow you a short nap or enough quiet time to rejuvenate your mind and body. Turn off your phone, lean back, listen to your breathing and imagine yourself in a lovely, quiet setting. I like to imagine that I am laying on a porch swing with a cool breeze blowing. With your eyes closed, you can be anywhere. This rest time is a great way to clear the business of the morning out of your head and get you ready for a terrific afternoon. 0038

WOMEN’S INSTITUTE: FOR HOME & COUNTRY The first Women's Institute was organized in Ontario on February 19, 1897. Through the efforts of Mr. Erland Lee of the Farmer's Institute and Mrs. Adelaide Hoodless, a homemaker, the Stoney Creek WI was formed. The movement spread rapidly to other provinces and eventually around the world. Our Queen is a member and her mother was before her. Our Aims and Objectives are; to raise the standard and develop a greater appreciation of homemaking; to develop better informed, happier and more efficient citizens; to develop a more abundant life in communities; to discover, stimulate and develop leadership; to promote national and international understanding, tolerance and goodwill. Many things in our everyday lives are because WI members saw a need and acted. One of the first was having milk pasteurized. The white lines on our highways, stopping for school busses when lights are flashing, stables abolished on packaged food, reflectors on sides of railway cars, dimming high beam lights upon meeting another car, having bread wrapped, hot lunches in school, proposing the purple violet as the New Brunswick provincial flower and many other things were all because of the Women's Institute. Some local accomplishments of the Sussex Vale District Women's Institute are: erecting the cenotaph in Sussex, establishing a public library, starting the Sharing Club, scholarships, prizes in schools, assisting with breakfasts and hot lunches in schools. The safety lane at the entrance to the Drury's Cove Road is there because the WI petitioned it be done after a few collisions when Riverview Drive East used to be the Trans Canada highway. The New Brunswick Women's Institute adopted HMCS Fredericton and the Sussex Vale District supports their annual Bike Run for the Children's Wish Foundation with a donation and serving the bikers with a home cooked meal. The Food and Craft Fair is an annual event held in late August at the Jubilee Hall/ Senior's Centre during the Kings County Agricultural Fair. It is an opportunity for anyone, young and old, who likes to bake or docraftstoenterexhibitstoshowtheirtalents. The five branches in the Sussex Vale District have activities in their communities, be it suppers, card parties, welcoming new neighbours or saying goodbye to old ones. We walk together For Home and Country.

TALES FROM THE CAMERA BAG BY THE SEA As long as I can remember, I have been attracted to the ocean. To look out to the horizon and realize that we can go anywhere in the world from here. From this very shore where my grandchildren and I pitch rocks. I have walked its shoreline on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. North, off the coasts of Iceland and south on a popular beach in Chile. It’s always the same, the sea siren sings her song and casts her magic over me. I listen to the waves as she gently tumbles the little stones on shore and at other times as the bigger waves slosh big boulders around making it sound like bowling balls being pitted against one other. According to an article by Pranaview Australia called The Power of Negative Ions- The Ocean and Bodies of Water -Negative Ions- the invisible healer:the negative ions by the ocean and large bodies of water are healing
and nurturing, helping everything from mood enhancement, allergy relief, sex drive and migraines. Sometimes, I say to my family that should I ever become ill, take me to the ocean and let me breathe in the healing nature of these negative ions. But most times I just enjoy the peace, memories and the rhythm. However, my challenge is: how do I capture what I’m feeling when I am here on the shore? Sometimes it’s very peaceful with beautiful sunset colours and other times the ocean is violent, scary and exciting. In the past, my friends and I have donned colourful rain gear and have been on the shore in the height of a rainstorm with crashing waves. Other days we watch a peaceful early morning sunrise, watching Mother nature as she puts her makeup on. On this day I looked out onto the ocean and beyond, the sea was

SNIDER MOUNTAIN WINTER CLASSIC AND WINTER WEST Despite cold temperatures, the Third Annual Snider Mountain Winter Classic held Saturday, February 3 at Snider Mountain Ranch was a great success. Skaters arrived Saturday morning from various communities of New Brunswick to compete in a 3-on-3 pond hockey tournament. Teams competed for a chance to hoist the Winter Classic Cup at the end of the day and to raise funds toward summer camp scholarship. As the day drew to a close, players, sponsors and businesses raised $4,070 - all going towards Snider Mountain Ranch's Camper Scholarship Fund. During the afternoon, families stopped in at the Ranch for Winter West - a free, family-friendly, winter activities event. Some enjoyed visiting with Blossom and Shaggy, resident donkeys, while others tried skating or snowshoeing. Most enjoyed a chance for a quick sleigh ride followed by warming up by the fireplace in the lodge. With over 200 people in attendance for the Winter Classic and Winter West, it was a great day had by all.
Snider Mountain Ranch would like to thank all the volunteers who made these events possible. Print Digital, Winter Classic Sponsor, wishes the Barons congratulations on their 2018 win. If you are interested in applying for a scholarship to help send your child to summer camp, please contact Snider Mountain Ranch. 4859
